| | Richard Falk, Future for UN Charter System of War Prevention |
 | | The Charter System is not a legal prison that presents states with the dilemma of adherence (and defeat) and violation or disregard (and victory). | | | Legal apologists for the initiative insisted that such authorization could be derived from prior UN Security Council resolutions, as well as from the willingness of the UN to manage the post-conflict civil reconstruction of Kosovo that amounted to a tacit assent, providing the undertaking with a retroactive certification of legality. | | | It is not the Charter System that is in disarray, providing sensible grounds for declaring the project of regulating recourse to war by states a failed experiment that should now be abandoned. |

| | Libya: The Lockerbie Legality |
| | Any modification of the UN Charter arises some new legal problems, as to whether there would be an actual change of the oral contexts in the Articles, or the modifications should be done in the form of amendments etc. | | | The UN Security Council and its resolutions, which the UN members must carry out under legal obligation of the Charter, has become an unequal instrument in international criminal law, throwing shame on the legality of international criminal law itself. | | | One may argue, that a modification of the UN Charter is a too drastic and to difficult solution, out of proportions in international criminal law. |

| | The UN Charter: Then and Now |
| | But neither is it the case with respect to the legal requirements of the Charter. | | | And that is the political will of every member state to enforce Security Council resolutions, to abide by their agreements, and to advance the fundamental freedoms and rights upon which the United Nations was founded. | | | And it was not the case when the Council was unable to approve military action in Kosovo, and NATO proceeded any way. |

| | The truth about the United Nations! |
| | The present Charter, of which the Chinese, French, Russian, English, and Spanish texts are equally authentic, shall remain deposited in the archives of the Government of the United States of America. | | | After all, what jurisdiction do U.N. bureaucrats have for sticking their nose into the U.S. gun control debate since the United States Constitution gives no authority of any kind to the U.N? Clearly, gun control (or more plainly called civilian disarmament, which is what concerned the founders) is prohibited by the Second Amendment. | | | The present Charter shall come into force upon the deposit of ratifications by the Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America, and by a majority of the other signatory states. |

| | The Declaration calls for implementing UN treaties that the United States has never ratified, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (which denies the right to private property). | | | The Declaration calls for the unratified International Criminal Court to exercise "compulsory jurisdiction" over all states, enforced by the UN Security Council. | | | Titled the Millennium Assembly and Summit, it is scheduled to take at least two actions designed to turn the corner from a world of sovereign nation-states to a world of disparate peoples subordinated to the supreme authority of the United Nations. |

| | U.S. and British officials say they had adequate UN authorization for military action against Iraq under Security Council Resolution 1441, which was passed late in 2002. | | | Annan said in the interview that he believes the U.S.-led coalition preempted UN procedures by going to war without obtaining a second resolution specifically authorizing the forceful disarmament of Iraq. | | | UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was illegal because it violated the UN Charter. |
